Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kinston, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kinston provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
